Plugin for Obsidian


Key Promotion

When you use the mouse on a button this plugin will show a notification with the assigned shortcut for that action.

For buttons that don't have shortcuts assigned the plugin will show you the name of the command to assign in the settings.

[!WARNING] Buttons are not directly associated with commands in Obsidian. Sometimes even the name of a button does not match the name of the command that executes the same action.

As a result you might get multiple different notifications when pressing one button.

Description of Actions

Shows a notification when pressing a hotkey with the called command and its associated hotkey. Useful for presentations.

Needs to be enabled in the settings.

Statistics

Shows your most used commands. You can open this menu with the Key Promoter: Statistics Command.


Inspired by the Key Promoter X and Presentation Assistant plugins for IntelliJ IDEA.

About
Show shortcut hints when clicking UI buttons or pressing hotkeys, displaying the assigned hotkey or the command name to assign. Track and display statistics of your most-used commands to surface candidates for shortcut assignment and aid presentations. Note button labels may not match commands, so a single button press can trigger multiple notifications.
